Breakfast For On The Go Entrepreneurs

A Note On Eating & Entrepreneurship!

I, on many occasions, have accidentally worked through meal times. So wrapped up in the current project or approaching deadline that food slipped my mind until I am like wow no more energy! This wasn't always my terrible habit, I would cook intricate healthy breakfast before heading to work, finish my smoothie in the car, & have a snack ready for before lunch! Once my schedule became occupied by my business, the importance of meals began to slip. I began grabbing granola bars or fruit before heading to work or nothing at all and waiting till lunch before I got any type food!

One of the reasons Brittany & I started the #SELFCAREMAGIC series was because through entrepreneurship I had become so busy that I started to neglect my self-care across many touch points! I wanted to find that balance! So when Brittany sent me these breakfast recipes I jumped with joy! Easy, yummy, & packed with the good stuff!!

I hope you enjoy!

Hello Everyone,

Breakfast, most important meal of the day...unfortunately for many us on a time crunch also one of the most impossible meals of the day. Breakfast is amongst one of the most important times to eat but one of the most missed/neglected meals. Simply because we do not have time or energy to wake up and cook breakfast every single day. So we usually rely on sugary treats, bars & muffins, coffee, and the holy spirit to help us make it to lunch. Little did we know the damage we were doing to our body’s physically and that it was probably throwing off our productivity and energy levels.

Now, is time for a change. We started this Self Care series to teach lasting change, not to tell you you’ve been adulting all wrong. First thing up is Nutrition. I’m here to share some of my favorite and easy overnight breakfast options for an on the go life!

In a large skillet or wok, add the onion. Cook for 5-7 minutes until they become translucent. Add garlic; cook for 2 minutes, stirring.

Add potato and mushrooms; stir. Cook for 10-15 minutes, until potato, is fork tender. Crumble the tofu into small pieces and add to the pot; cook for 5 minutes.

Take care of yourself and be the badass you’re meant to be!
